They have light beers as well, but dark beers are harder to find and I appreciated the options! And if you don't like beer, they have wine, seltzers, and liquors lined up. No food, just drinks.

The service is always fun and i enjoy the open atmosphere. This Belgian-inspired brasserie continues to be one of my go-to destinations for great food, craft beer, and one of the best Painkillers in town. My must-order dish is always the crispy beer-battered pollock paired with their perfectly seasoned truffle fries. The fish is light, flaky, and fried to golden perfection, but the real star might be their housemade tartar sauce--it's absolutely addictive. A few other standouts from our table included: Savory risotto topped with seared shrimp and blistered tomatoes The NRBC Juicy Burger loaded with onion straws and beer cheese Every dish was packed with flavor, and it's easy to see why this spot remains a local favorite. Whether you're stopping in for a craft beer, cocktails, or a hearty meal, this is a place that's always worth the visit.

We wanted to try out a different spot than our usual go-to. We ended up at Neuse River Brewing…read more It's located an "industrial" looking area off of Whitaker Mill road in Raleigh. The first thing we noticed as walked in was how warm the place was. They have an open kitchen which is generating heat. They didn't seem to have central AC. They did have one wall mounted AC which was nowhere enough to cool down the place during peak summer days. We almost decided to leave and go elsewhere but we sat down. We got the following: Grilled Caesar salad was pretty decent for what it was. Duck Poutine was quite underwhelming. It was pretty cheese fries with duck on it. Not quite the typical poutine that also has gravy on it. Blood Orange Crème Brulee was my favorite item of the three we had. You could taste the blood orange in the crème brulee which was amazing. The portion could have been a big larger. I was expecting it to be in a small coffee cup. I could have had another one easily. All in over an average experience. Not sure if I will go back!

I love this spot! TBH my review is all for the food and service (the only drink I've had here was…read moretheir special 4th of July "rocket pop" lol). Anyway - Pizzas are consistently good, come out quick, and new pizza toppings/flavors pop up every once in a while. I especially love their Wednesday night dinner specials - sometimes I'm not as much in the mood for pizza but they do things like chicken parm and pasta just as good. Service is like a mix of waitstaff and self serve but whenever we interact with anyone working there they're always super friendly and helpful. Like I said, just love this spot! Parking at Raleigh Iron Works is never an issue - I just park in the back gravel lot

If you're heading to Raleigh Iron Works and think Ponysaurus is just another brewery, think again…read more The Chicken Schnitzel completely exceeded my expectations. The chicken was perfectly crispy, thin, and juicy, while the fresh arugula salad added just the right peppery bite. The roasted fingerling potatoes were seasoned perfectly and rounded out a simple dish executed exceptionally well. Ponysaurus Brewing Co. serves the schnitzel with arugula, fried red potatoes, celery, red onion, parsley, and a whole-grain dressing, and it all comes together beautifully. Of course, the craft beer selection is what gets you in the door, but don't overlook the kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service was friendly, and the food easily holds its own against many restaurants in Raleigh.

Trophy's has about five sauces and about 5 cheeses you can select. I went with the spicy red and mozzarella. My only complaint--the pizza wasn't big enough. A great, great pizza!! The staff couldn't have been nicer! They were sincere in their questions, attentive without hovering, friendly and nice. I saw none of them on their phones. The place is a typical brewery and pizza joint. Warm and industrial feel. I had a couple Brilliant's (that's the name of the beer) and it was tasty. The taper heads were old top from trophies, which took me back to my grade school bowling days -- the place is called Trophy, get it? 5 stars all around for Trophy!

The atmosphere is chill, there's plenty of seating, and the service has always been super friendly!
